Medical device manufacturing is one of the highly sophisticated processes. The hardware contains sensors, controls, and intricate systems for precise performance. Quality of medical devices is not just an option but a regulatory demand. The stakes in maintaining quality assurance in medical devices in high due to the combination of electronics, mechanics and hardware involved. Moreover, these are life-saving devices used for a variety of treatments. Even a minor leniency in design can cost heavily, risking the life of the patient. One of the best quality inspection tools used in the medical manufacturing industry is video measuring systems (VMS). These systems are advanced quality management tools that are used in measuring the dimensions and analyzing the surface properties by projecting the image on the screen. Video measuring system manufacturers like RB Metrology support the medical manufacturing by providing an instrument that ensures dimensional accuracy and other quality factors. In this blog, we will explore how these machines support the medical industry.
How VMS Supports Medical Manufacturing
Early Detection of Scraps
In the production of medical products like endoscopes and dental implants are produced in bulk. However, due to faults in the manufacturing process, the parts may come out as not fit for assembly. By early detection of these parts, the video measuring machines minimize the wastage of access materials during assembly.
Extreme Accuracy
The complex and tiny parts of the medical devices, like ophthalmic and surgical instruments, have irregular shapes and determining their consistency across the production is only possible by VMS.
Regulatory Compliance
The medical manufacturing industry needs to follow strict guidelines by regulatory bodies, as there are safety factors associated with these instruments, implants and devices in this industry. By investing in the video measuring machine, these compliances are met by the manufacturer.
Complete Inspection
These systems not only provide a way to ensure the dimensional accuracy but also generate reports, data analysis and documents for future reference.
Conclusion
Video measuring system manufacturers support the medical manufacturing industry by detecting the faulty parts, analyzing with micron level accuracy, providing reports, and helping in maintaining the regulatory compliance. For anyone looking for these systems, choose RB Metrology. Our systems have high-resolution camera and fast software to process the data quickly. It has 3D measurement capabilities and its lighting system allows high contrast edge detection. For sensitive components, these enable non-contact measurements to protect the test piece from deformation.
